What No One Tells You About Getting A Cat

Cats are one of the most joyous creatures on the face of this Earth. From their little bean pads to the twitching whiskers, any time you look at them you're instantly filled with glee.


If you have the thought of adopting one, you might not think twice about the antics that come along with it. These are the untold things that come with your new cat child.


They have different meows

From the "I don't care that it's 3 am, I'm hungry" meow to the "Why aren't you giving me the attention I'm not sure I want"meow, you get to learn them, just like a baby and its different cries.


They will knock over everything

Oh, I'm sorry, this is your favorite glass? It would be a shame if.... something were to happen to it.....

Sometimes they'll want to cuddle. Most of the time, they won't

Or they'll make it seem like they want to cuddle and suddenly they won't nothing to do with you

They can be expensive

Toys, litter, food, vet bills. Cats aren't just something to have. You need to be able to take care of them and all of their needs.

But, they'll find more joy in bottle caps or wrappers than they ever will with the toys you buy them

Save some cash, keep your caps.

Your curtains mean nothing to them

I hope you like that torn look in your curtains, or the bends in the blinds.

There's no such thing as personal space

They aren't afraid to climb right into your lap when you're sitting on the toilet.

They're the best excuse to get out of plans

Wow, I would LOVE to, but i really need to get home and feed my at.

You'll realize that you've never loved something so much

My best friend has four paws.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
